About this listen

 "An essential read for anyone committed to understanding the technologies that will define our future." CHRISTIAN ANGERMAYER, BIOTECH ENTREPRENEUR AND FOUNDER OF APEIRON INVESTMENT GROUP

Welcome to the biotech revolution
In the last century, technology has transformed the human experience across the world. This has been super-charged by the arrival of the internet, smart phones, AI and machine learning, and created trillion-plus dollar companies and household names like Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

Our Future is Biotech explains why biotech is next: because our biggest remaining challenges as a species concern biological systems.

Biotech companies will solve our most intractable problems, from cancer, dementia, obesity and diabetes to elderly care, mental health conditions, and even clean power generation, agricultural production and environmental degradation.

Biotech means that we can all live better, safer, healthier, wealthier, happier, and longer lives.
The industry has already delivered "miracle cures" for several diseases, and there is more to come. But despite this, few people are aware of the phenomenal progress being made. Our Future is Biotech addresses this, explaining what biotech is, what is coming next, and how you might profit from it too.

Tech has been the most important theme for human progress for the last century. Biotech is next.©2024 Plain English Finance Ltd. Biological Sciences Corporate & Public Finance Evolution & Genetics Genetics Physical Illness & Disease Science Health Nutrition Technology Computer Science

Critic reviews

"Andrew presents an invigorating vision of biotech's profound impact on our lives, underpinned by a rich tapestry of scientific innovation and human progress. Our Future is Biotech is a clarion call to those mired in pessimism, offering an informed, optimistic outlook grounded in tangible advancements and potential. With its accessible narrative and compelling evidence, it not only educates but inspires readers to engage with the biotech revolution - both for personal empowerment and as savvy investors. As the book reveals the sector's capacity to reshape industries from healthcare to clean energy, it's an essential read for anyone committed to understanding the technologies that will define our future." (Christian Angermayer, Biotech Entrepreenur and Founder of Apeiron Investment Group)
"A tour-de-force and a book that I found unputdownable. Andrew has seen the way for biotech and brings a unique, insightful and typically plain-English perspective to us all. This is a must read and highly recommended." (Barry Smith, Founder of Sunday Times’ Fast Track 100 probiotics company, Symprove)
"An excellent analysis of the life-changing scientific developments occurring in the world right now and a good prod in the ribs to Governments and Regulators to improve the funding environment to ensure we all benefit!" (Jim Wilkinson, CFO, Oxford Science Enterprises)
"Our Future Biotech serves as an essential guide through the transformative world of health technology. This book brilliantly maps out the intricate challenges and opportunities of the biotech sector in an era of extended life expectancy, increasing burden of chronic diseases, and widening health inequalities. With its thorough analysis and forward-looking solutions concerning new technologies, financial strategies, and healthcare reforms, it empowers readers to not only understand but also contribute to the evolution of healthcare. The inspiring 'The Future is Bright' chapter left me optimistic about our ability to harness innovation for better health outcomes. A must-read for anyone interested in the future of human health." (Jo Pisani, Chair of the Precision Health Technology Accelerator and several European biotech companies, former head of PwC UK Pharma and Life Sciences)

Both of Andrew Craig’s books are brilliantly written and provide incredible insights that likely will change your views on numerous topics.
Listening to positive minded, optimistic people like Andrew, in my opinion, is one of the most valuable things you can do. I highly recommend both of his audiobooks, as well as his resources and videos on his website.

Interesting, unique and brilliantly written

Having read How to own the world and knowing Andrew invests in Biotech I thought this was going to be more personal and a bit more directional in what to look for and how to value it.

Whilst Andrew does touch on this he spends much more of the book going over what is possible now, how to look at the situation with optimism and what the future looks like with exponential thinking.

All in all whilst the book wasnt what I expected going in I was entertained and have taken away several ideas for the future and will begin researching some companies for investment opportunities.

I would reccomend this book to anyone wanting to know more about biotech as a broader industry. The information touches on a lot of things briefly so there isnt much depth however like me you might come away with ideas you want to deep dive.

enjoyable but not what I thought

Great into to biotech and discussion on certain points such as machine learning, AI, nanotechnology, gene editing, the future of agriculture/lab grown meat, exponential improvements and cutting edge treatments. He briefly discusses the value of investing in biotech, and I'm certainly doing my research on this.

It must be said that there are some questionable opinions, such as plugging a brand of probiotics and AG1 (a massive mistake in my view), a strange obsession with cold exposure and plugging Wim Hof (there are some benefits to it, but very over hyped in my view). There is some opinions on diet and supplements that I'm not keen on either. I'd personally prefer the author's opinions on holistic health to be omitted entirely, as this is a digression from the topic of biotech.

I'd also appreciate if the author were to discuss the ethical implications of biotech, rather than often dismissing them as uneducated opinions.

That's not to take away from what is an excellent book, just take these opinions with a pinch of salt.

Excellent into to biotech, although contains a few questionable opinions

Approached from an informed layman’s view. So, understandable and covering much of the field. Useful for your own health/life and to understand opportunities in this vast field.

Great insight
